Description : A Tetris-like game on a hexagonal grid
The object of the game is basically the same as in Tetris; use the pieces
that fall down from the top of the game area to construct fully filled lines,
which will then disappear to make room for more pieces. The twist is that the
pieces are composed of hexagonal blocks, so your visualization skills will get
an extra workout.
ghextris was in Debian from Sarge through to Stretch, but was removed due
to dependencies on obsolete gnome2 related libraries. I have ported it to a
more modern python3/python3-gi/gtk3/glade technology stack and intend to
reintrouce it.
I intend to keep the package within the games team,
